Ultimately, the WSP team delivered a high quality final report and supporting technical documentation that exceeded our expectations and the goals of the project. The work done will help ensure that future aviation planning efforts in the state and region have a solid foundation of quality analysis from which to build” – Josh Brown, Executive Director, Puget Sound Regional Council

We specialize in complex projects at remote sites with difficult access, and with added levels of co ordination with public, land owner and/or Aborig inal communities. Through lessons learned from these projects we continue to streamline our process. We also have the knowledge of process and regulatory requirements to determine what is absolutely needed for your project location, and where previous information can be used. We are in constant communication with regulators and are up to date on the latest changes to the regulatory development process. We share in our clients desire to have accurate, reliable information that is defensible to the regulators and the public, whether it is the in formation we gather on the field, our analysis, or our presentation of results. A well‐managed and effective EIA will ultimately reduce regulatory risk. With our help, when companies are ready to provide funding, our clients are ready with defen sible information that meets the criteria of reg ulatory approval, expediting the project through implementation.

We use an approach that incorporates environ mental planning and consultation combined with our strong technical capabilities in engineer ing and science. These activities include: z Project specific baseline studies and impact assessments, including cumulative effects analyses and recommendation of mitigation measures. z Preparation of desktop level assessments and technical proposals. z Design of environmental protection plans. z Design and implementation of sampling and monitoring programs for fish, surface and ground water, wetlands, sediment, soil, vegetation, and wildlife.
